How is it sulfate free if sodium laureth sulfate are listed in the ingredients? False advertising maybe?

Hi! No, this is not false advertising. The listed ingredient is "Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate" which is different from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_lauryl_sulfate" and seems to be a point of differentiation for St. Ives. There are some blog posts if you perform a simple Google search which compare the two, but they seemed to be mostly lacking in substantive sources of evidence. I also looked on my university's research network and found very little on Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate. If you'd like to do more research though, here's a link to the EPA's website for information submitted as part of one of their programs: http://www.epa.gov/HPV/pubs/summaries/sdmlaurl/c14936tc.htm Hi!

St. Ives is now owned by Uni-Lever so many of it's formulas/ingredients have changes but their marketing materials have not been updated....be careful:/

I am not a chemist but Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate is listed as the fifth ingredient.

I have no idea? But I have been using it daily for over 30 years and my skin is very clear and smooth. Much younger looking than my 55 years - more like 30's.

Yes and not all sulfate hair products are good. This one is both sulfate free and good - it's worth it.

Sulfate free, but it contains sodium. It's the next ingredient after water.

There are no sulfates. There are about 5 lines of ingredients-the first is water, the rest is...well, five lines worth......

Distearoylethyl Hydroxyethylmonium Methosulfate is one of the product's ingredients - so it's not sulfate free.

This product does not have sulfates. I use it as a co-wash. I have very thick 4a/4b hair, and this conditioner has great slip.

As far as I know its sulfate free and that's a good thing for color treated hair. My best friend is a stylist and her hair is a different color every other week and she uses it and loves it. But like Lira said, check with a pro stylist.

No it does not contain sulfates. Hmmmm, I never used this as a co-wsh.....but maybe? The shampoo took all the moisture and softness from my hair.....so I would try...wouldn't hurt.

Hi my name is Jan and I am on the Customer Care Team here at Seventh Generation. Thanks for asking about the SLS we use in our products. We use a plant-based sodium lauryl sulfate, made from coconut or palm oil. It's almost identical to the sodium coco sulfate other natural companies use. We do not use petroleum based ethoxylated surfactants or SLES and are therefore 1,4 dioxane (carcinogen) free, which is why you hear concerns about SLS or SLES. Plant-based SLS has a superior environmental profile as its renewable carbon index is 100%, it is biodegradable, and does not bioaccumulate in aquatic or terrestrial wildlife. We hope this information helps you make informed purchasing decisions! Hi my name is Jan and I am on the Customer Care Team here at Seventh Generation.

Following is information I've gleened from various googled sites: The main ingredients are (in laymens' terms) calcium carbonate, glycerin, water, aloe barbadensis leaf juice. As another person commented, there are also extracts from cranberry, pomegranate, white tea, grapeseed. The ingredient credited for flavor is Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate (NOT to be confused with Sodium Lauryl Sulphate or SLS). Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate is described to be derived from coconut oil and is known to be a safe, natural, nurturing cleanser...they say it gently removes surface dirt and bacteria, also facilitates foaming. It is a modified fatty acid. From what I can see, this ingredient is also used in high-end shampoos and conditioners. The toothpaste maker claims the following: the product is flouride free, paraben free, sulfate free, no Sodium Lauryl/Laureth Sulfate, no artificial colors, no artificial flavors, no artificial sweeteners, no animal by-products or testing, and is cruelty free and vegan. I am a fussy consumer given my many allergies and sensitivities to many ingredients. I am very happy with this product and will continue to use it unless something comes along that I deem superior. I wish you the best in making your decision as to whether this product is right for you.

Here is what I know, I am highly allergic to sulfates, in medicines, foods, even driving by a vineyard that has been dusted. I have not had a reaction to the Klorane products that I am using. The ingredients listed on conditioner does not include a sulfur item. The white shampo0 does not include an ingredient list on the label of the bottle, they must have been listed on the box which I have discarded. The other shampoo with quinine and vitamins B, lists sodium laureth sulfate.

It is Sulfate-free. I have been using Enjoy Luxury for about 5 years now and I could never use anything else. It's amazing and my hair loves it and is super healthy because of it. Give it a try and you'll never use another shampoo and conditioner ever again!

I went to drugstore.com and pulled up Klorane. There is a section (tab) that gives a complete ingredient list for the product. The first ingredient listed has the word "sulfate" in it. You might want to see for yourself and make your judgment.
